Special Issue on Event Recognition
Applied Artificial Intelligence Journal

Users and organisations collect data in various structured and
unstructured digital formats, but they cannot fully utilise these data
to support content and resource management. It is evident that the
analysis and interpretation of the available data needs to be
automated, in order for large data volumes to be transformed into
operational knowledge. Events are particularly important pieces of
knowledge, as they represent activities of special significance both
for users and organisations. Therefore, the recognition of events is
of utmost importance. Consider, for example, the recognition of trends
given user contributions in social Web 2.0 applications, the
recognition of attacks on nodes of a computer network given the
exchanged TCP/IP messages, the recognition of suspicious trader
behaviour given the transactions in a financial market, and the
recognition of various types of cardiac arrhythmia given
electrocardiograms.

We invite quality submissions focusing on various aspects of event
recognition, including analysis of video, audio, text and other sensor
data, as well as recognition on fused data sources. While we place
emphasis on theoretical contributions, we also welcome papers
describing interesting applications.

Broad topics include:
-Representation languages for event recognition
-Algorithms for real-time event recognition
-Probabilistic reasoning for event recognition
-Machine learning for event recognition
-Event recognition architectures
-Benchmarks, performance evaluations, and testbeds
-Domain-specific deployments of event recognition systems
-Multimedia and social media analysis for event recognition
-Clustering, concept recognition and multi-modal/fusion techniques
-User interaction and interfaces for event navigation, browsing and management
